[So, stuff happened during the mission. Monsters eating other monsters is kind of a thing...
As Seta explains, she looks fearful as ever, and on top of that, she occasionally makes the face that Asagi did after downing his Spiced Cabbage Banana Smoothie. Apparently, what she ate was not very tasty.]
...I apologize for having kept this from all of you...but Leos' reaction...is why I chose not to reveal everything...
That changes now.
[A deep breath before she goes on.]
The Gloster Foundation...is not just an organization of agents devoted to defeating a specific enemy...that is to say, our goals are true, but the agents in question, myself included, are not human in the first place.
We are all Kijin; the same race as the enemy that threatens humanity and Earth...the difference is that we are here to defend it...
...There is a history to this that I do not mind sharing as well...but I believe this will suffice for those in need of a basic explanation...
[She averts her eyes from the camera.]
I understand if this means I cannot be trusted... but I now realize that Mizuki was right. If I was as bold and honest as she is, the victory today would be a greater one...

[A while later, Seta is out by the shore of Sakihama City, looking out at the ocean.
Considering everything, she now understood why Gloster agents operated on their own. That urge to run away because she didn't get it right was rising...]
Maybe...I was not the right one for this task after all...

[She nods at the first part.]
Yes...it will also be easier to gauge the damage done to most of our enemies.
On the difficult side...some Kijin, notably higher class ones, are sometimes clad in very resilient armor. This armor is resistant to most types of attacks...and the best way of dealing with it is a focused assault on one section of an opponent.
This is where the limbs you've seen...my Craft, RB, comes into play...

...Of course...I have not actually encountered a higher-class enemy myself...and have only managed to completely manifest my Craft once before...

Re: 2/2
So what are Kijin?
From:
no subject
Heard...because I was born on Earth. Not many of us in the Foundation are like me.
[She looks away before continuing.]
But... one common trait we share is that we were all born for battle, one way or another.
Life on Earth is something we never completely adjusted to... it requires more skills than what most of us can mentally manage.

...On top of that, Madame, my tutor, taught me that battles on Earth are not won by strength and individual skill; there are often other factors at work, too.
That is also why the most we have done so far is fight against the enemies we know...and not be involved with the ones we don't.

The same ones now mostly trapped in our ancestral home...that refused to see any other way besides domination...

Originally led by the Great Emperor, the Kijin came to Earth in an attempt to conquer it, just like they had done to other worlds before. At the time, humanity was very different...but wielded technology that enabled them to fight against the threat regardless.
...But there was something humanity had that made it both different and somehow similar to the Kijin themselves. That is, emotions.
[She goes on, perking up slightly in admiration.]
Realizing this, one of the Emperor's generals, Shahyrar - the Kijin who would become known as the leader of what would be the Foundation - decided to take a stand against the Emperor. He and a number of his followers threw aside their allegiance, joined the Earth's defenders...and in the end, he slayed the Emperor himself.
Shahyrar went on to free all the other worlds conquered by the Kijin, and those who still wished to follow the Emperor's cause were sealed within the Kijin Realm.
From:
2/2
The same seal on the Kijin Realm is not perfect, as Shahyrar discovered some time later. The trapped Kijin who still desire to continue the Emperor's campaign could still slip past it...they started to appear through 'Gates' in regions that are breeding grounds for negative emotions like fear and anger.
There was nothing even our leader could do to strengthen the seal. And to make matters worse...this realm has a negative effect on our capabilities after some time. There are things that limit us compared to those who have just emerged from Gates.
But even so, Shahyrar's group continued to take on the invading Kijin in secret...it was known by many prior names until some time ago, when one of our few human supporters, Mr. Gloster, decided to use his organization as a cover for our activities. Not only that, but he provided us a home as well...

That aside...I hope this will be enough for now. There is not much else I can tell you about what to expect when a Gate appears.
And...thank you. Having to recall this makes me remember why I ended up accepting this assignment as well.

But I wonder...are there any normal people here?
From:

[Seta considers this a bit.]
I...would suppose not...
Everyone here has been beyond my expectations so far, and not only in strength and skill.
